US thrash metal legends Testament have made their brand new track "True American Hate" available for streaming online. This song is the first taste from the upcoming Dark Roots Of Earth album, set to be released on July 27th (Europe) and July 31st (North America) via Nuclear Blast. The song can be heard exclusively at this location. More album details were previously reported here.

Reading the reviews I had very high hopes for this song. There's part I enjoyed and there's parts I thought dragged on a bit. Skolnick's solo in the song is a plus, but I wanted a little bit more from him. All in all, I thought it was an average song that could've been better. But I won't complain since most of the thrash I've heard this year has been a big let down.

This is pretty great, it brings back memories to the New Order. I know though Testament will never be the old one and to me that's a plus, they evolved. I think their album will be more complex from what I've heard by Chuck, and then again they always release the weak catchy stuff to the hype and leave the good stuff inside. Say like songs like "Afterlife" being concealed and "More Than Meets The Eye" exposed.
